They aren't awful. Better than past years.

 

I kind of like the Kansas design. Never thought of it as a buffalo state. Never really think of it at all...

 

Minnesota appears to have stolen the Loon dollar from Canada.

 

As for California, I can predict the two questions the average school child in CA will have with the quarter. 1) Why is Abraham Lincoln on the California quarter. 2) Since when is Yosemite in California.

Welllllllllllll......... Don't just leave me in suspense here! I'm guessing that Abraham Lincoln is on the CA quarter because he drove the Golden Spike into the completed transcontinental railroad. I guess having Yosemite on the quarter with him is kind of odd since the spike was driven in in LA, wasn't it?

 

What do I win?!?!?

I agree with point one, but...

 

Yosemite National Park - located in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of central California - is a setting so spectacular and awe-inspiring that it is often referred to as the "Crown Jewel" of the National Park system.

I think I understand your point...The Bear, Gold, any number of other things come to mind when I think of California.

 

Overall, these are better than the last couple of years...less clutter and more on point.

I would have really prefered to see the original California Eureka and the Grizzly Bear looking into the sunrise, but since its a visionary design , it would have never been approved by the politically correct forces in charge.

Just joking. When I think of CA, I usually think of LA or Southern CA. Yosemite definately does not look like Southern CA
